Pres. Rosemary's Report - 30 November 2020
Wow! Wow! Wow! What an evening. Under the guidance of Janelle Craig our Youth Director we were immersed into a youth spectacular.
Jason Terry ( Rotaract), Harishan Ramananthan ( Rotary Program of ENrichment), and Leopoldo (Rotary Youth Exchange from Brazil) were introduced to the club and we heard of their plans and a little of their personal stories. Katherine Louey, our club’s RYE student who has just returned from Austria, shared her thoughts, memories and future plans. Katherine is a credit to her family for the way she has conducted herself during an exceedingly difficult and worrying time. Katherine’s maturity was there for all to see. We were delighted to have our District Governor David Clark and 6 of the District RYE committee ably led by Susan Wakefield. Add our Assistant Governor Robert Erskine and parents, visitors and partners, and you can see what a wonderful evening it was. Welcome to our newest member Ros Hogan who was inducted on the evening– it’s lovely to have you join us. On other matters, thanks to Douglas and his team for a sizzling hot BBQ on Saturday; to Alan for finally being able to host the car run despite the heat and to the Tree of Joy team for their continued work. Our AGM is next Monday by Zoom followed by our Christmas dinner on the 14th and Tree of Joy sorting on the 15th. A busy but rewarding time for all. Stay healthy and safe. Rosemary |

What it takes to be a Rotarian
There are members of the community who may have some misunderstandings about what it takes to be a Rotarian.
We are always looking for new members and, in fact, it is new people joining that keeps us alive as a Service club. From time to time I hear people say things that make me think they don't consider joining or even visiting Rotary for all the wrong reasons.
This article is about the things you don't need to join Rotary, and the things you do, just in case you are not sure. The other thing you should know is that we are a very friendly bunch of men and women and we have a lot of fun, as well as achieving some pretty good things in the community.
